To all whom it may c0n0em:--

Be it known that I, CLARA H. BEHNAMAN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Beaver Falls, in the county of Beaver and State ofPennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Compositionof Matter for Cleaning Textile Fiabrics, Leather, &c., of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention has relation to a composition matter to be used forcleaning textile fabrics of all kinds, such as clothing, laces, rugs,etc. Also leather articles.

In the manufacture of my improved cleaning composition, I prepare asolution containing ammonia, ether, chloroform, com-' 'mon table salt,baking soda and alum. In

making this solution, I preferably use about 1% ounces of ammonia, 1ounce of ether, 1-

ounce of chloroform, and one tablespoonful each of table salt, bakingsoda and alum.

For each half pint of composition, I dissolve in about one half three orfour ounces 0 soap, preferably white naphtha soap, and to this I add onetahlespoonful of the splution above described.

When the mixture cools, it hardens to a more or less solid condition. Inusing, it is dissolved .inwater and applied to the fabric for cleaningpurposes and can be used without danger or injury to the nature oft hefabric.

1. The herein described composition of matter for the purposesdescribed, comprismg a solution of ammonia, ether, chloroform, baking.soda and alum in the propors tions of about fourteen ounces of ammonia,one ounce of each of ether and chloroform, and one tablespoonful each ofsalt, baking soda and alum, said ingredients being mixed tions of aboutfourteen ounces of ammonia,

one ounce of each ofether and chlorofo and one tablespoonful each ofsalt, baking soda and alum, said ingredients being mixed with a soapsolution, in the proportion of about one tablespoonful of the firstnamed solution to a half a pint of the soap solution, substantially asdescribed.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
